Last week I was in China again. Had a new food experience along with some infamous Chinese white wine. I believe this is a misnomer because this variety of wine has 42% alcohol! I also had a new food adventure, sampling chicken leg joints. It’s the joint between the chicken’s lower leg and upper leg. Tiny but flavorful. I couldn’t find a recipe, so maybe one of you can help me out. Sometimes when I eat a new and exotic form of food strange dreams follow that night…or maybe... -
Last week Jeannie and I visited the central part of our great state of Texas near Austin in search of the perfect Texas barbecue. A circle could be drawn around Austin that, when followed, will take you to a number of small towns, each of which has a least one restaurant claiming to have the best barbecue in Texas. While there are more than four fabulous barbecue spots in the area, we did visit four. I won’t go into all the delights we sampled, but if you are interested here is a link to one... -
In China last week, my palate enjoying the treats I have come to enjoy. But for something a bit different I’ll start with an future trip and food I plan to consume while on it. Every year Jeannie and I take a road trip for a few days to a small Texas town, do a bit of antiquing, and also try the local cuisine. Next week we are going to a town in the central part of our state near Austin in search for the perfect Texas barbecue. A circle could be drawn around Austin that, when followed, will... -
In Manila last week doing some training. By the end of the week my new “associates” had worn me out with so many questions about the Business Process Framework (eTOM). Four of the days focused on the eTOM. While I was there I continued comparing local food to my existing “standard”. My last blog compared the Singapore version of chicken wings to my “standard”, buffalo chicken wings. In Manila when I saw nachos on a restaurant’s menu I had to give them a try... -
In Singapore last week attending TM Forum’s Management World Asia 2012. What a great line up of topics and speakers! And a record attendance at this event. As I play the role of vagabond I often like to compare local food to my existing “standard”. For example, trying a local version of nachos or burgers. In Singapore I compared the American version of chicken wings… http://americanfood.about.com/od/appetizersandsoups/r/bufchicwing.htm to a version of Malay style marinated... -
In China last week for my first visit of the year to that interesting country. I am always willing (perhaps!) to try something new during my culinary adventures. So, when my hosts suggested a house specialty at one restaurant, could I say no, even though I associate pigeons with not-so-nice-things they often do to my car? Also known as squab, I had to try it…deep fried and delicious…and even had it at another restaurant during my stay. If your taste buds are open to something new, here... -
In Budapest last week doing some Business Process Framework (eTOM) training at a member site. Not only did I enjoy some wonderful Hungarian food, but I was pleasantly surprised when my host took me to his favorite Greek spot for lunch two days in a row. I enjoyed a tasty gyro one day, followed by homemade moussaka. Here is a link if you are interested what it is… http://greekfood.about.com/od/eggplant/r/moussaka.htm . In also keeping with a music theme I located a pop recording from a Greek... -
Management World Orlando 2011 was certainly a busy place to be last week. And, quite eye-opening. From a culinary perspective I turned some shredded pork and chicken made as a sandwich with tortillas into a street vendor taco by taking the top off and using it as a double layer of tortillas folded over the fillings, which included a spicy pepper jack cheese. If you want to learn more about this south of the border delight, here is a link… http://www.texasmonthly.com/food/recipefiles/Meat%3A... -
I was back visiting Manila last week, teaching and working with a provider transforming its business. While there I had the opportunity to see a mode of transportation unique to the Philippines – the Jeepney, modeled after World War II jeeps used by US armed forces. Take a look… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepney . They shake, rattle, and roll down the road! Seeing the Jeepneys operate made me think of the song " Shake, Rattle and Roll ", a prototypical twelve bar blues ... -
I returned to Singapore last week to conduct some training, my first visit since around this same time in 2008. While I did enjoy a number of spicy Singaporean delights, I thought it was time for a change. Particularly since I have been sharing my food adventures for the last two years. My last blog used a music from my past theme, so I thought I would continue sharing classics you may (or may not J ) enjoy from my younger days. So, here’s a classic from Bob Dylan released in named The Times...
